If S scores the highest, we have S > ———– > Q
or S > ———- > U.
If S is ranked sixth and Q is ranked  fifth,we have _ > _ > _ > _ > Q > S > _ In this case, R will ran the highest and thus T will rank the least. we have R > _ > _ > _ > Q > S > T Also, the order V > P > Q will be maintained i,e V and P will have second, third or fourth places. So, statements (a), (b), (c), (e) cannot follow. Thus (d) is the answer.
